Dear Parent,

We at LeapFrog know that you are your child’s

most important teacher. Our goal is to help you

build an environment for your child that is rich in

experiences—one that encourages discovery and

fosters learning success.

Babies and toddlers are discovering the world for the

first time. That is why we develop learning toys that
introduce critical discovery skills, including color and
shape recognition, fine motor skill development, and

social play. They come in playful colors, with engaging
features that will captivate your child's imagination.

LeapFrog™ learning toys are designed to grow alongside

your child through each stage of development. All are
made with the same playful spirit that promotes a

lifelong love of learning. For additional information on

how to make learning fun and effective, visit our Web

site (www.leapfrog.com), where you’ll find tips from

parents and educators. We hope you’ll join us there.

Sincerely,

Tom Kalinske
